About this listen

The Red Badge of Courage is a masterpiece about a young private in the Union Army whose youthful enthusiasm about the glory of Civil War battle gives way to increasing doubt and worry. He fears that when he comes to be tested in his first encounter on the battlefield, he will be found deficient of courage.Public Domain (P)2009 Audio Holdings, LLC Classics Literature & Fiction

Loved listening to this wonderful classic. So profound and completely personal about a soldier’s
thoughts during battle.

Excellent Narrative

You can almost feel the anxiety and emotion and smell the gunpowder. Wonderfully descriptive and insightful.

Captivating

This is one of those situations when the audio book is better than the printed version. There were a couple of occasions near the beginning where the reader whispered too lowly for a female voice, but the rest of the book was very good.

Classic Story, Great Reader
